Le Grand Bornand,
France

Split into two separate villages, Le Grand Bornand Village and the smaller Le Grand Bornand Chinaillon, both villages have a selection of bars and restaurants.

Both villages have retained their traditional character with some chalets dating back 300 years. This is also the home of Reblochon cheese which must be tried during your holiday. Le Grand Bornand local ski area encompasses 90km of pistes with the majority of runs suitable for Beginners or Intermediates , plus an additional 58km of cross-country trails.

The downhill pistes are generally wide and are good for building confidence on. There is a snow park with an airbag at the top of the Vallee du Maroly as well as a boardercross area. Experts should head for the Espace Freeride off the back of Mont Lachat, or invest in an Aravis area pass which takes in a further 130km of pistes .

Chinaillon, le Grand Bornand is a pleasure to ski for families and adults alike. I have skied the USA and the big high resorts in France and Italy, but this area keeps pulling me back. Everyone says hello with a smile, the snow is great,restaurant are a pleasure to stop in and the staff recognise you from the day before. I can't fault it.

Thank you again Iglu for being so user friendly and more importantly thank you to Laura for being such an asset to your company and the sales profession."
